We enjoyed our stay at Spyglass 101A. Marty was excellent to work with, answered all of my many questions and we had a wonderful week. The property is just as described, nicely decorated and very comfortable. It was clean and we would definitely stay again. The views alone are spectacular!

Great place!
We loved staying here! Walk down stairs from your balcony right onto the beach. This was perfect for my husband and I and our two kids. You can sleep more than four though, with a Murphy bed in the living room and a bunk bed plus double bed in the kids room. There is also a convenience store, good restaurant (Beach House) and ice cream place within walking distance.

The title says it all - we do not frequently revisit the places we vacation. This trip has changed that for us and we will definitely be back next year! Everything about this place from the accomodations to the amenities to the proximity to the ocean & excellent local eateries was ideal!

Location is perfection! Beautiful beach and access!
This property location and size gets 10 stars! Its a small complex which is private and less busy. The balcony looks right towards the beach, 100 feet from the deck and you are on the beach. The condo inside needs some maintenance but easy repairs like broken decorations, seal around shower hanging off, seal around exterior door hanging off, and sliding glass door/lock was difficult. The biggest problem was that there was no extra toilet paper, only allowed 2 rolls each bathroom. This is an excellent rental on Gulf Shores if you like quiet, less busy than the larger condos, and prime beach spot. You can rent the chairs and umbrella right outside this condo. Its a 1.5 mile walk on the beach to the Hangout Restaurant. Love this location!!!

My family loved our stay at this condo. It was very clean, updated, and had a perfect view for our morning coffee with a short walk to the beach from our deck. Beds were very comfortable. I can’t say enough about the location/view of the condo, we will book again and have referred our family and friends as well! Host was great to work with!

Great Location for Ocean Front Vacay!
I stayed here for a week in mid June with my family and kids, this property (specially this unit) is in an awesome location within walking distance to the beach, and with a middle balcony you get shade if you want to enjoy the view. The condo itself is mostly updated but very nice, could use a few brush ups on the inside but otherwise a very nice place to rent!! would use again!

Perfect Beach Stay
Very nice well maintained property. Plenty of space for a family of five to stay for a week. I really appreciate the number of hooks around the condo to hang up wet towels and swim suits. The back patio was perfect for drinking our morning tea and watching the beach come alive with. The parking is tight but of all the parking spaces assigned in the complex this one has the best spots for getting in and out!! This property is definitely high on our list of favorites!

Beautiful, cozy, wonderful condo on the beach.
The location was perfect. Our kids could walk out of the patio and onto the beach. We had a great view from the deck. The house had everything we needed to cook and stay comfortably. The pool under the house, in the shade, was a great addition to the trip. Highly recommend this place, and the kind hosts. Thank you!
